- Read the lyrics through once silently before singing.
- If the original tune is unfamiliar, look it up first.
- Modify freely. Every gaggle adapts songs to local issues.
SING IT to the tune of The Campbells are Coming
When the Grannies come marching in (2X)
We will know what’s on our plate,
When the Grannies come marching in.
When the Grannies come marching in (2X)
You will know where it’s from
When the Grannies come marching in.
When the Grannies come marching in (2X)
You will know there are GMO’s
When the Grannies come marching in.
When we make peace instead of war(2X)
How I want to be in that number
When we make peace instead of war!
